About Ace Services

Forty Minneapolis winters, run out of one South Minneapolis lot.

Ace Services has been plowing, hauling and salting commercial and retail property since 1985. Steve Olin runs it out of the same South Minneapolis equipment lot the trucks have staged from all along, and the phone still gets answered at three in the morning during a storm.

“Snow removal in an urban environment can present challenges that Ace Services is uniquely equipped to handle. With the variety of equipment in our stables, we can clean and remove snow from most anywhere in the downtown Minneapolis area. One call and it’s gone.”

South Minneapolis, close to downtown

The lot at 2636 Minnehaha Ave puts us minutes from downtown, not hours.

With our equipment lot located in South Minneapolis, we are prepared to serve the needs of the surrounding businesses and commercial areas including Downtown, North and South Minneapolis and Uptown. When a call comes in mid-storm, the trucks are not crossing the metro to get there.

We currently hold contracts with several businesses in downtown Minneapolis, south Minneapolis, north Minneapolis and the Uptown areas, and our drivers are on call 24 hours a day through every snowfall and windstorm.

What actually shows up

The full fleet.

Most snow contractors describe what they do and leave the equipment list out. We publish ours, because the mix of machinery is what decides whether a property gets plowed and left, or plowed and actually cleared.

Since 1985

What forty winters actually buys a property manager.

It is not a slogan. It means a crew that already knows where the fire lanes are on the lots we have been clearing for years, and it means the phone gets answered rather than going to voicemail at 3am. One of our customers put it plainly in a Google review: “Answered the phone and always showed up whenever needed.” That is the entire pitch, and it is the same one we have been making since 1985.

Whether it is a 20 acre parking lot or a single gas station lot, curbside buildup, or snow piles that need to be removed rather than pushed aside, we have the equipment and, now, the years behind it, to get the job done right, complete, and on time.

Not driveways

Commercial and retail property, from a gas station lot to a 20 acre ramp.

Every contract we hold is with a business, not a homeowner. If your property has a lot, a ramp or a frontage that has to be clear before the first customer or tenant arrives, it is the kind of site we run.
